This tower contains the Research Library on its 21st floor. It is of interest because it contains multistory windows with spectacular views of Houston and its outlying areas. Unlike the Sears Tower, this building is not surrounded completely by major skyscrapers. From this vantage point, one can actually observe the curvature of the Earth, meaning that with bare eyes one can figure out that the Earth is round and not flat.
